I have been racking my brain trying to get my blue & white g4 to boot
netbsd 1.6.1 unattended.  I can't seem to find the right combination of
partition setups to get it going.

Usually my partitions are arranged as so:

Part		Size
MSDOS		15MB
/		4GB
Swap		256MB
/home		remainder (around 1.8GB)

If I put ofwboot.xcf on the msdos partition, openfirmware gives me a
CATCH error and won't load either from there or from the cd until I
reboot.  If I don't attempt loading off the msdos partition, I can boot
off of the CD.

Can anyone give me any pointers on what I'm doing wrong?  Or, if I need
to RTFM, which FM do I need to read?

TIA
